Square footage discrepancy
Hello all, first time home buyer here and recently went under contract on a single family in one of the hottest markets / areas in the country. Despite asking for only a two day inspection period due to only seeing the house on video before making the offer , The sellers counter was zero inspection, which I accepted. After appraisal i found out the house is about 300 square feet less than advertised. I am aware it’s the buyers responsibility in this case to to due diligence but they wouldn’t allow me in the house to do a quick inspection. It seems it was clearly intentional false advertising am looking for any advice on how to proceed? thank you

if it appraised at your purchase price then sq foot is moot. I like the Charleston SC listings right on the listing it says if sq ft is important to the buyer Measure..
